Hammad’s Arts Award Journey

Hammad has been developing a rich and thoughtful body of work through Barkingside Art Club, exploring drawing, painting, printmaking, watercolour, portraiture, cultural heritage, public art and stop-motion animation.

His portfolio shows a strong interest in history, warriors, architecture, culture and storytelling. Through his projects, Hammad has learned how to research artists, develop ideas, reflect on feedback and create artwork with meaning.

Highlights of Hammad’s Portfolio

Hammad explored a wide range of creative techniques, including:

  • One-point perspective painting inspired by Van Gogh

  • Printmaking and insect studies

  • Puppet and character sketches

  • Rickshaw artwork inspired by South Asian culture

  • Still life studies inspired by Paul Cézanne

  • Portrait drawing and self-portrait work

  • Islamic art, calligraphy and geometric pattern

  • Watercolour landscapes and nature studies

Community and Exhibition Work

Hammad has also taken part in several community events and exhibitions, including South Asian Heritage Month, the Barkingside Community Flags Project, Islamic Arts and Heritage Festival, Light of Inclusion, and public exhibitions at Fullwell Cross Library and Redbridge Central Library.

He supported children during workshops, helped set up displays, collected public feedback and shared the meaning behind his artwork with visitors.

Leadership Project

As part of his Arts Award journey, Hammad planned and delivered a creative workshop inspired by Islamic and South Asian warriors. He prepared drawing guides for different ages and abilities, demonstrated techniques, supported children and gathered feedback from participants and parents.

This helped him develop confidence, communication, planning and leadership skills.

Stop-Motion Animation

Hammad also explored animation as a new art form. He created storyboards, designed scenes, made characters, recorded sound effects and edited a stop-motion video about his creative journey at Barkingside Art Club.

Through this project, he developed patience, technical skills, storytelling and attention to detail.

A Growing Young Artist

Hammad’s portfolio shows commitment, imagination and creative growth. His work brings together art, history, culture and community, showing how young people can use creativity to share ideas, build confidence and inspire others.
